Omg! I visited this on the weekend and I blown away. Food tasted like grandmas cooking. Definitely the Menudo is my favorite ❤

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Glad you loved it!

[@armandofernandez4204]

That meatball stew is called Albondigas!!! Lol

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Thanks!

[@habakkuk4711]

I grew up on a red dirt farm in Georgia, but when I returned from Vietnam in 1969 I was stationed at Fort Bliss Texas in El Paso. That began my love affair with Mexican food. Your meal looked wonderful.

[@xc7525]

Wow. True legend, thank you so much for your service. I hope you have a nice new year!

[@habakkuk4711]

@xc7525 Thank you. Every day God gives me is a blessing. Hope yours is a good one also.

El Paso! Did you have Mexican food or Mex Tex?

Great video! Mex meatballs soup is called adbondigas. Put celantro onions and lime and chilies in your menudo, makes a world of difference!! I'll have to try this place.👍

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Hi there! Chile Rellano is usually a pablano pepper. Yum!

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Thank you!

[@alfredhernandez-sg2hp]

It's chile relleno.

[@TRMV]

Flecha also has a buffet on the weekends.

Good to know! Glad to see this daily option open

I saw a video for the Sunday Brunch at lL Toro E La Capra that looked really good too. Thanks for checking out this new one.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

That place has been on our list. We'll have to check them out!

[@Scott.Mariani]

@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612 The one I was thinking of was Los Cucos Mexican Cafe Explore Vegas did, and it appears they are gone already.

[@patriciap9307]

I live in Northern Mississippi which has several Mexican buffets, usually priced around $18 per person. I was shocked to see no shrimp dishes, no guacamole, and most importantly, no queso!! The best part of an all you can eat Mexican buffet is all you can eat queso and guacamole, lol!

[@deannb7398]

This looks more like traditional Mexican food

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

This is more authentic than what we often find in a lot of Mexican food restaurants. It was a real treat to try some of these dishes

[@Rustyb1590]

I may try them out at some point when in LV.

[@PeppermintPattytch]

Yeah we don’t eat queso here on the west coast that’s more of a Tex mex thing. More traditional Mexican food here in California, Nevada and Arizona and that’s what this food is.

[@Turkeyinthehay]

That looks amazing, but I'd be asking where the sour cream, hot sauce and guac are!

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

It was great despite the lack of condiments 😆

[@peeeeyton]

BYO Hot sauce

[@Turkeyinthehay]

@@peeeeyton Lol! I guess that's one way to remember you're not actually in Mexico where it's on every table.

[@tonytequilatokes]

La vencida has buffet . The meatballs are usually more soupy with spicy broth

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Is that every day? I thought they only had a weekend buffet

[@tonytequilatokes]

@ my mistake

[@rshrsh5420]

Paul & Amy, Happy New Year. This was a GREAT video, and I have to try this place this weekend. It looked like being at Mom's house, they wanted to load up your plate and make sure you were full. No matter how many times you said that's enough!

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

😆 🤣 you're so right Hope you enjoy it!

[@SassyCindy]

Thanks for the video. Happy New Year!

Just amazing food. Everything made fresh daily. No frozen food used. No microwaved food!!!

We agree, it's really wonderful

[@fjaramillo49]

Flawless pronunciations😂 chick-a-roni's, rey-lanos, vayer-day. Food looks good. Thanks for the content.

Buffets are BACK baby! Across the country, Buffets are now making a comeback due the price value.

this would be worth a trip to vegas. mexican food is my fave, i could easily eat my weight in tamales!

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

It's like eating at Abuela's ❤️

[@PeppermintPattytch]

That was Carnitas and not carne asada. And a little bit rude on the second round and you called something “disgusting” btw love The Depeche Mode shirt

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Actually, it was asada de puerco, the word asada through me off

What about Flecha? Not considered full Mexican?😊

Happy New Year guys! That looked pretty good, no way would I eat those chicharones but the other food looked good.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Happy new year to you too! The texture was a bit strange and apparently we need to learn how to pronounce "chicharone"... 😆

[@cujochihuahua5073]

No sauce for chili rellano ?

Not offered 🫤

[@a.boss.__09]

I gotta check it out when i go out there this year

The masa is nice and thin, just how I like it. That’s what my daughter is making for our dinner tonight, tamales. Food looked good.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Sounds yummy!

[@justgravy]

Great video as always, I'll need to check out that buffet next time I'm in Vegas. Also, the Chile 'relleno' is pronounced 're-yeno'. 😅

I love that the staff is doing most of the servings one time I went to a Chinese buffet, and I saw a person dig all of the beef out of a beef and broccoli and I haven’t returned to a buffet sense because it stresses me out too much to see how greedy people were lol

Excellent point It's probably more hygienic as well

You’re better off with the Taquiza for $19.99 from Cardenas on Decatur! You can always add a tamale or relleno.

We'll check out, thanks!

Try Panchos Mexican buffet in Texas in the cities of Arlington Texas or Fort Worth Texas hands down better then the one in Vegas check it out . Houston has one also

[@Variety1985]

❤ BUFFET LOVER ❤ MEXICAN FOOD ❤ CHILE RELLENO 👍 Paul's HAT I also prefer to SERVE MYSELF at a buffet! DRINKS INCLUDED!! While it may be somewhat limited ... it still looks satisfying. YES, where is the GUACAMOLE, CHEESE, and SOUR CREAM for those CHIPS???

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

agree, a buffet is best when you can serve yourself

[@sarabrucker7847]

Wow! Thanks for checking this place out. ETA: the negative comments on this video are cracking me up. Another LV channel had a great tip that the best “ethnic” restaurant food tends to be rated 3.5 on yelp because the highest rated is usually more Americanized.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

They are probably spot on about reviews. We take scores with a grain of salt. People like what they like, and unfortunately, sometimes that's not authentic ethnic food We prefer to try it all and be honest about flavors but also the overall experience

[@drewu9157]

Do we have to bring our own guacamole and sour cream?

Is chile relleno 😋
